Huo Siyu’s phone cara turned very slowly, allowing Nan Qiao to observe the surroundings.
After viewing all the rooms, Nan Qiao, with her good mory, expressed her opinion.
"The third room has a blue and white porcelain ornant. Let’s go back to that room and take a look."
Huo Siyu imdiately headed towards the third room.
Hearing this, Jiamin followed along.
"Take the detoxification pills first, and others should step back a bit."
"Alright." Huo Siyu took the detoxification pills and gave one to Jiamin as well.
The blue and white porcelain vase ornant looked nothing out of the ordinary, looking every bit like a flower vase.
Huo Siyu put down the phone and tried to turn the blue and white porcelain vase, but it did not move.
"Try moving the vase away."
Huo Siyu moved the vase, and the tabletop was very smooth.
"Tap on the tabletop." Nan Qiao said once more.
Huo Siyu tapped on it, finding the inconspicuous table was hollow.
Huo Siyu felt around the small table and found a bump.
Pressing it, a wall opened.
"Found it!" Huo Siyu shouted excitedly.
Jiamin didn’t expect Nan Qiao to find the entrance to the hidden chamber so quickly either.
The teammates observing from the doorway also didn’t expect that Huo Siyu had found such an impressive ally.
Impressive, indeed impressive; with just a glance, she knew where the issue was.
"I’ll hang up now; I’m going in to take a look."
Huo Siyu hung up the phone and went with Jiamin into the tunnel to explore.
...
The tunnel went on to the end, and as they exited, the two were imdiately surrounded by guns.
Jiamin shouted, "Friendly! We’re friendly!"
Director Nie, hearing the familiar voice, asked in surprise, "How did you co out from here?"
Jiamin said, "We found the hidden chamber and followed the passage all the way here, exiting from this opening."
Huo Siyu remarked, "Looks like you haven’t found that Sister Ling either."
Director Nie cursed, "Damn it, she really slipped away. We’ve searched the surroundings several tis, and not a shadow seen."
Hou Ze added, "She must have heard the commotion at the door and fled imdiately; that’s why she got away so fast."
The group felt angered that they let such a big fish escape.
Jiamin lanted, "Now that’s it, I can’t rise in rank."
Huo Siyu could not help but chuckle; she still rembered Qiaoqiao’s words.
Huo Siyu comforted, "Don’t worry, you can still rise in rank. Just because we can’t find this escapee now doesn’t an we never will. She fled to the side, and we’ll pursue her with all our might. We’ll also need to check the surveillance along the way."
With that, everyone resud the search.
...
Li Tianyi arrived at the garden, seated himself on a chair, and looked up at the night sky.
Reaching for a teacup, he touched sothing chilly, startling him to leap up from the chair.
A figure stood beside him, causing cold sweat to form on Li Tianyi’s forehead in fear.
"Why are you here!" Li Tianyi asked in panic, scanning the surroundings to avoid being seen by others.
"What? Afraid Sha Zi will go mad seeing here? Or scared of losing her?" Sister Ling erged from the darkness, her slightly weathered face leaving Li Tianyi dumbstruck.
"What happened to you?" Every ti he saw her, she was always so high and mighty, unlike now, like a lost soul.
Sister Ling recounted the recent events, making Li Tianyi restless.
"How could this be? How did they discover your address? There must be an insider!" Li Tianyi insisted, convinced it could only be that.
Seeing Li Tianyi’s confidence, Sister Ling couldn’t be bothered to respond.
"If you’re so confident, why don’t I let you investigate this for . I trust you to handle it."
Sister Ling sat down, sipping the tea Li Tianyi brewed.
Li Tianyi had never seen her this way before, filled with emotion.
Who on earth calculated against her so precisely, leaving no room for escape, he wondered.
"Who exactly set you up like this?" Li Tianyi sat down, asking directly.
"Probably that fat woman!" Sister Ling responded through gritted teeth, recounting the entire sequence of events.
Each ntion of "fat woman" carried venom, as if venting so unspoken fury.
Li Tianyi was dumbfounded by the entire story.
"Isn’t it said that this Ghost Doctor has great dical ethics, and everyone in the circle sings her praises?"
"Are you saying I suspected the wrong person?" Sister Ling asked, displeased.
"That’s not what I an, I just find it hard to believe that Ghost Doctor would tarnish her own reputation."
Sister Ling paused, pondering the truth of Li Tianyi’s statents.
Sister Ling remained silent, and Li Tianyi refrained from speaking, wondering when Sister Ling would leave, as she couldn’t be seen by others here.
If anything happened, his identity would be exposed, inviting trouble onto himself!
"What? Afraid Sha Zi would find here? Trying to kick out now? Do you think I can go anywhere else like this? They’re surely searching for everywhere. The most dangerous place is the safest; let hide in your house for a couple of days. Once everything settles down, I’ll leave."
Li Tianyi: "..."
Just what he feared would happen!
"Do you disagree?" Sister Ling asked with a low, dissatisfied tone.
"It’s mainly because we have guests at ho now, and I’m afraid they’ll discover you."
"I’ll hide in your basent; your guests won’t go to the basent, right?" Sister Ling looked directly at Li Tianyi.
Unable to find a reason to refuse, Li Tianyi could only agree.
Li Tianyi led Sister Ling towards the basent, only to bump into i Tian Sha Zi.
The three stood, looking at each other, Li Tianyi helpless and powerless at the unfortunate encounter.
i Tian Sha Zi clenched her fists, gradually relaxing them.
Her tightly furrowed brow smoothed out, her face breaking into a smile, "Sister Ling, long ti no see."
"Sha zi, long ti indeed. Still not asleep so late; did you know I was coming to your house?" Sister Ling approached, patting i Tian Sha Zi’s shoulder.
i Tian Sha Zi’s displeased expression flickered for a mont, clearly seen by Li Tianyi.
Li Tianyi stepped forward to briefly explain Sister Ling’s presence to i Tian Sha Zi.
i Tian Sha Zi raised an eyebrow, her lips unconsciously curling into a smile, "Sister Ling, this isn’t sothing I thought you’d experience. Aren’t you always in command, controlling everything and everyone? How are you being pursued this ti?"
Sister Ling: "..."
i Tian Sha Zi’s barbed comnts infuriated Sister Ling.
Rubbing his aching temples, even confident Li Tianyi was shaken.
Being caught between two won, he felt quite tortured.
"Sha zi, let’s let Sister Ling hide in the basent for a while. I’m afraid those people might trace back here, and then we’ll also be exposed."
As Li Tianyi spoke the crucial point, both i Tian Sha Zi and Sister Ling stopped arguing, one making way, the other moving inside, all behaving.
